6 Footsteps of Downfall (Viscount 2)

“The next morning.”

“The jar shattered with a bang.”

“Why did you break it?”

“Huh? I think the butler told you to throw a water ball into the pot.”

The butler, Yesman, was arguing with a supposedly excellent magician who was called from the adventurer’s guild.

“I wanted to call a mage, but he refused.”

“What I asked for was a water ball in the sense of filling a water bottle with elementary magic. Please think about it with common sense.”

“Tch, then say it in an easy-to-understand way. Nobles are not even in a dungeon where they can’t replenish supplies, but they use them extravagantly and out of common sense. The common people don’t understand! Water balls.”

“This time, the water bottle will be filled as ordered.”

The witch had a satisfied look on her face after completing her work, but the butler made a point of it.

“Ah~. Does a newcomer need an explanation from 1 to 10? Please let it keep bubbling up. Otherwise, it won’t work.”

“???”

The veteran magician’s eyes became dots.

The butler was puzzled by the reaction that was different from what he had expected.

“Oh, um. Could it be that you can’t do that? Just one year is enough.”

The butler sighs as he reads the magician’s eyes start resting.

“Well, it can’t be helped if you’re a wizard who couldn’t become a magician. This is a mistake on my part. For now, one week is fine. As expected, even a wizard can do this.”

“Huh, Mr. Butler. Are you smart? I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but you can’t even hold the advanced magic Water Lance for 5 seconds.”

He shook his head with an exasperated expression, and the butler opened his mouth at the extremely reasonable remark.

“No, you’re serious, aren’t you? You can’t lie like that.”

“At this point, the butler started to get upset.”

“So, if you can’t do it, you’ll fail the request, right? Even the flawed wizard Ex could have done it, but with that kind of attitude, your rank might go down!”

“Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay to fail. What you’re saying is so dangerous that I don’t want to get involved. I’ll report this to the magician’s hermitage.”

The butler, Yesman, was a veteran magician who threatened him as usual, but unlike Ex, he responded straight back. At this rate, it was inevitable that a bad reputation would spread. A butler who notices a slip of the tongue and becomes clumsy.

“Oh, um. Please keep this a secret. I said too much earlier. I’ll make the request a success.”

“Well, it’s okay to fail, Mr. Butler. After all, I’m a wizard who couldn’t even become a magician.”

After showing off the A-class plate, the magician left with a grin.

“Please wait”

“No, you’re a moss. We had a good souvenir story at the bar.”
